Tennessee driving practice tests

The real test

• The manual states the topic split exactly - traffic signs and signals 25%, safe driving principles 25%, rules of the road 25%, drugs and alcohol 25% - but never a question count or a score.
• The drugs and alcohol quarter is a statutory floor: by law at least 25 percent of the questions must cover it.
• The at-home proctored online test does publish 30 questions, 60 minutes and 80% - but it is open only to applicants aged 15 to 17, so those numbers do not describe the in-office exam.
• No test may be repeated the same day, and a failed knowledge test carries a mandatory one-day wait.

Read the official handbook

This is the source everything on the real test comes from, and it is free. Practice questions find your gaps; the handbook fills them. Read it on the government's own site so you get the current version.

Watch out for

Rules that catch people out in Tennessee specifically.

• The manual says outright that the Basic Speed Rule is not Tennessee law, then teaches it anyway.
• Two interstate minimums, not one: 55 mph in the leftmost lane and 45 mph in the right lanes.
• School-zone speeding is charged as reckless driving - six points on its own, which is the whole under-18 suspension threshold.
